After the Fury bout Kownacki rumored to be next for the Bronze Bomber Kownacki is Polish, undefeated and was supposed to fight Wilder 2 years ago
It's a typical cherry picked opponent with a padded record, that's tailored made for Wilder stylistically. I've been saying this fight willl happen after the Fury rematch for months now. Haymons lack of ambition for their fighter and their match making is too predictable.
Kownacki is nowhere near Fury`s level and Wilder and Fury have already stated they intend on having a third fight anyway.
Still running from Whyte I see. Whyte is dragging Wilders name through the mud and still Wilder is too scared
Wilder and Fury have a re-match clause which can be triggered by either of them and you can bet that it will be. Whyte is the mandatory for the eventual winner. Surely Haymon can't shoe horn Kownacki in there.
Its still blows my head off, how exactly Breazeale become WBC mandatory, when he lost to Joshua in a dominant fashion. Yet he fight 3 nobodies and become number 1 mandatory. Also Ortiz rematch. He lost to Wilder, yet in a year later and 3 matches against absolutely nobodies he face Wilder again. Yet Dillian Whyte has 11 fights since Joshua, and 8 of them are against actual names in the HW division and actually was in great shape. And i still can`t get how IBF/WBO will strip Joshua, yet he want to face his both mandatories, but they will still strip him. And we have Wilder, who rematches 50 years old grandpapas and are going to make not one but 2 fights with Fury, then Kownacki probably and Whyte is going to wait for around 5 years to get his chance ? Joshua is striping for wanting to fight the best and face his mandatory, yet Wilder fights no power bums and striping him is not even in the talks ..... Should i said that boxing rules are complete joke ?
Should be another barnurner! Good to see Wilder giving one of these up and coming kids a shot so we don't have to retread the likes of an Alex Povetkin or Pulev type fighter again.
